Maintenance Notes; Disposal Information - Multiplex HIMAX C 2816-0890 Instrucciones

Measure the current drain of your motor under load at full-
throttle. Both excessive rotational speed and overloading can
result in the motor overheating. The maximum period of 15
seconds for full-load running should only be used for 3-D
manoeuvres, which should be spaced out to leave plenty of time
for the power system to cool down again at low load.

EVERSING THE MOTOR SHAFT
The motor shaft can be removed and reversed, so that its free
length is at the "bell" end of the motor.
The shaft is retained by a grubscrew at the rear of the case, and
a collet / grubscrew at the front end. Both grubscrews are
secured with non-permanent metal adhesive. Please be sure to
use the correct size of allen key (supplied in the set) to undo the
screws.
Remove the grubscrews, then press the shaft out of the motor
case using a puller. On no account use a hammer or any other
striking tool. If you do not have access to a puller, the shaft can
be pressed out of the case using a precision parallel-jaw vice,
with a mandrel at one end and a guide tube at the other.
Before re-assembling the motor please clean all of its
components thoroughly. When pressing the motor shaft into
place ensure that the machined "flat" in the shaft is located
exactly at the point where the grubscrew is to secure the shaft in
the motor bell. Apply a drop of non-permanent metal adhesive to
secure the grubscrews once more.

AINTENANCE NOTES
Brushless motors are almost completely maintenance-free,
although a little care will make them last longer. Protect the
motor - and especially the ballraces - from dust and dirt, as
soiled bearings may jam completely. For this reason we
recommend that you lubricate the bearings regularly with low-
viscosity (thin) oil. Do not submerge the motor in water or
solvent. Do not kink the motor cables, and do not subject them
to vibration. Be sure to balance your propellers carefully to guard
against vibration and to avoid premature bearing damage.

IPS FOR POWER SYSTEM DESIGN
The design of the power system must reflect the model type, the
type of flying envisaged, and the model aircraft's all-up weight. If
hand-launched, models require a minimum of around 80 Watts
per kg of take-off weight, while for ground take-off the figure
should be at least 110 Watts. You can calculate the required
power based on the model's all-up weight and its flying
capability. Take 90% of the nominal battery voltage as the basis
for your calculation; this means 1.1 Volts for one NC or NiMH
cell, and 3.3 Volts for one LiPo cell. You can find the required
current by dividing the desired Wattage by the Voltage. You can
then read off the required propeller size from the graphs.

ROPELLER SELECTION
Start with the information in the graphs. We recommend that you
try out various propellers in order to find the optimum
combination.
Always keep within the maximum permissible motor speed.
Note that a 3-D model requires an entirely different propeller
from a model which is to fly very fast.
In general terms, 3-D models require a diameter : pitch (D:P)
ratio of up to 0.5 (around 10 x 5" or 12 x 5"). Faster models need
a D:P ratio between 0.6 and 0.8. Model aircraft designed for
high-speed flying require propellers with a D:P ratio of 1.0, such
as 10 x 10" or 13 x 13". Maximum static thrust is obtained with a
D:P ratio of 0.5, whereas maximum speed comes with a ratio of

8.
Electrical equipment marked with the cancelled waste bin
symbol must not be discarded in the standard household waste;
instead it must be taken to a suitable specialist disposal system.
In the countries of the EU (European Union)
electrical equipment must not be discarded via the
normal domestic refuse system (WEEE - Waste of
Electrical and Electronic Equipment, directive
2002/96/EG). You can take unwanted equipment to
your nearest local authority waste collection point or
recycling centre. There the equipment will be
disposed of correctly and at no cost to you.
By returning your unwanted equipment you can make an
important contribution to the protection of the environment.
